HIGHLIGHTS
The learning system at Kasih Baptist Middle School is designed with a curriculum based on Bible integration. Every lesson taught uses an approach that links to biblical principles so that students understand each lesson through the lens of God, which is relevant to everyday life.
In the learning process, KBM is designed with a weekly system that allows students to understand the learning thoroughly and deeply. Through the Inquiry Process, students are also guided in the application/practice with a project-based learning approach.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Students partake in various Learning Activities that develop bright minds and strong character through the enhancement of academic and social capabilities. Specifically designed to contribute to knowledge construction and community work, these activities provide rich learning experiences that strengthen intrapersonal, interpersonal, and academic skills.
Kasih Baptist School is a Satuan Pendidikan Kerja Sama (SPK) school, because Kasih Baptist integrates the National Curriculum with the Kasih Baptist Curriculum.
The Kasih Baptist curriculum is uniquely designed to cover:
International standards
Brain research (brain development and how the brain learns)
The most recent research in education
The Kasih Baptist Curriculum is specifically designed to provide a rich academic foundation while promoting independence, decision making, cooperation, creativity, and problem solving in young children. The Kasih Baptist Curriculum includes learning objectives, effective adult interaction strategies, and assessment measures that help programs ensure a high-quality experience for all learners.
The emphasis of the Kasih Baptist curriculum is long term goals (skills, concepts, values) which are honed by using natural and social phenomena as context. *
The uniqueness of Kasih Baptist, with its Active Learning approach, is its holistic curriculum based on brain-based research, which considers aspects ranging from daily routines, learning activities, teacher-child interactions, to close collaboration between school and home. The aim of our curriculum is to help children develop self-regulated leadership (able to lead themselves and others in making contributions to sustainability).
The multi-age class is a class consisting of students who are 1-2 years apart in age, in the same class. This multi-age class describes a real life situation where students interact with other students of different ages and abilities, e.g. grade K with grade 1, grade 2 with grade 3, and so on.
Research shows that multi-age classrooms develop interpersonal and academic skills. If we view it from everyday life (real life), e. g., in our work environment, we work with people who are different ages to collaborate and produce something worthwhile. HighScope believes that by providing these real life experiences, children will learn how to socialize with people of different ages.
That’s why HighScope runs the Multi-age Classroom consisting of a combination of adjacent ages in the same class.
From the Elementary Program to the High School program, Kasih Baptist School implements a dual language program. The language of instruction used is both English & Indonesian. These two languages are used in an academic context (academic language) and a social context (social language).
In an academic context, there are several subjects delivered in English & there are other subjects delivered in Indonesian.
Examples of subjects delivered in Indonesian are Indonesian Language, Religion & Social Studies (IPS & PPKN) lessons, while subjects other than the 3 subjects above are delivered in English. In the social context, Kasih Baptist School School has a Language of the Day program. Indonesian & English are spoken alternately at socialization times and morning meetings, for example Monday in English, Tuesday in Indonesian, and so on.
With the implementation of the Dual Language Program, students will be proficient in two languages at once, both academically and socially.
The support provided and supervision of students is an important part of learning at Kasih Baptist School . The ratio of teachers to students is organized so that teachers can carry out their duties optimally.
The ratios implemented in Kasih Baptist School are taken from the ratios used by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). NAEYC is a professional organization that aims to improve the quality of education from early childhood to 8 years old in America.
Kasih Baptist School School applies the ratio of 1:12 for Elementary & Middle School.
Kasih Baptist School School applies homework that is adjusted to student grade levels. Homework is divided into main subjects (such as English, Indonesian, Science, Social Sciences & Mathematics), weekly assignments, reading assignments & quick homework.
We schedule homework based on student readiness and student grade levels.
Accreditation is a process undertaken by government agencies & foreign institutions to assess whether an educational institution has met specific standards
Currently most of our schools are accredited “A” or “DISAMAKAN from the government. Kasih Baptist School has also received accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
WASC is a world-renowned accrediting association in the United States and works closely with the Office of Overseas Schools under the Department of State
At every Kasih Baptist School, new students, first go through a “Screening” process by taking the “Basic Competency Test”. One of the subjects assessed is English. In addition, Kasih Baptist School also asks prospective students to complete the admissions “Requirements”, one of which is the “Academic Report Card History” to see the history of achievement in English from the prospective student’s previous school.
Thus, if Kasih Baptist School accepts these prospective students, then the consequences are that they must fulfill the standards of Kasih Baptist School. If they need support, they are required to take the Afternoon English Program (AEP).
To join the Middle School program, a student candidate must take the Basic Competency Test (BCT) that includes:
- Math
- English
- Indonesian
- Psychological Assessment
And also the parents and student interviews.
The stages of formation at each level of human age have challenges and impacts on the future. When children enter adolescence, they will be in a very crucial position in their lives. Every choice made will determine the child’s future. Therefore, formation in maximum mentoring and guidance will lead to the right goals in God.
Let’s build the future of your best sons and daughters because every child is a gift from God with extraordinary potential. Through a Christian-based educational approach, we are committed to guiding them to grow academically, spiritually, and in character. Join us and be a part of a meaningful educational journey.
